A new milestone for the globally present Eirich Group: a new plant in India will produce state-of-the-art machinery and equipment in the future as early as 2023 first quarter.

The EIRICH Group, with Maschinenfabrik Gustav Eirich as its strategic centre in Hardheim, has been one of the global leaders in mixing and processing technology for almost 160 years. With a proposed new plant in India, Eirich is continuing its strategy of global expansion. The groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the new plant site of the subsidiary of Eirich India took place on during April 2022 at the Chakan industrial area in Pune. It is planned to start production of Eirich machinery and equipment as early as Q1 2023.

Stephan Eirich is the fifth generation to head the family business and sees the expansion of the Indian operations as an important strategic step for the Eirich Group. “India has a lot of technical talent and a good infrastructure, which is also ideally suited to producing more of our products locally. Proximity to our customers in the world’s major markets is always a guiding principle for us. The second plant in India is in line with the country’s “Make in India” philosophy, but also reflects our confidence to serve markets outside India once the ramp-up curve is successfully mastered,” says Eirich.
